We went to the range yesterday, shot some .22 rifles and pistols. My old Marlin model 60 started malfunctioning badly. I realized quickly that it was the ammo- BANG, BANG, pow, pop, BANG, ptoo... that last one sounded like a BB gun and I could actually see the bullet hit the target. I should have stopped there but I was curious. Our range trip was cut short when one stopped in the barrel. Fortunately I didn't fire another one behind it.
The ammo was a sealed, unopened Federal Range Pack, 800 rounds. I have at least two of the same lot, purchased at Bi-Mart a year or two ago as I recall.
I was told a while back that in times of high demand for a product, manufacturing workers often get substantial bonuses for meeting production goals, so a lot of junk slips through that ordinarily wouldn't.
